Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry
Corsican reds are built on grapes found almost nowhere else — Nielluccio, which is Sangiovese under another name, and Sciaccarellu, a lighter, peppery variety unique to the island — usually with Grenache alongside. The result sits between Italy and the southern Rhône: red cherry and wild strawberry over maquis herbs, black pepper and a saline, rocky finish that reflects how close the vineyards sit to the sea. Medium-bodied with fine tannin and high acidity. The blend is not recorded on this bottling.
